Depending on your objectives (hygiene, best-before date, presentation, speed), there are several technologies to choose from: simple sealing, MAP, gas scavenging, Skinpack and vacuum bagging. Here’s a clear comparison to help you decide quickly.
To remember: Priority DLC → MAP. Premium presentation → Skinpack. Cost-controlled speed → gas scavenging.

Express comparison
| Technology | Objective | Highlights | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple sealing | Hygiene + zero leakage | Fast, economical, tamper-proof | Standard DLC (air present). |
| MAP (vacuum + gas) | Extending the CSD | Controlled atmosphere, non-compressed product | Barrier consumables required. |
| Gas sweep | Reduce the O₂ quickly | Very fast, often low investment | O₂ residual more variable. |
| Skinpack | Premium presentation | Fixed assets, vertical presentation | More expensive films, slower cycle. |
| Sous-vide sachet | Block the O₂ | Effective on conservation | Crushing possible, slower bagging. |
Focus: single sealing
Priority: hygienic, tamper-evident, leak- and odor-proof. Ideal for takeaway and transport.
Focus: MAP
Priority: extend shelf life and stabilize product, while maintaining volume (“cushion” gas). Requires high-barrier consumables.
Focus: gas scavenging
Priority: speed. Oxygen is expelled by a gas flow, without a vacuum phase. Fast results, but sometimes less repeatable than a full MAP.
Focus: Skinpack
Priority: added value. The film hugs the product for premium 3D rendering and immobilization for vertical presentation.
Focus: vacuum-packed
Priority: maximum oxygen suppression. Highly effective on preservation, but can compress certain products and requires time for bagging.
FAQ (SEO optimized)
Which technology to choose for DLC?
MAP is generally the most suitable, as it precisely controls the storage atmosphere while preserving the presentation.
Which technology is best for on-shelf presentation?
Skinpack is particularly relevant: premium rendering, immobilized product, easy vertical presentation.
